It not only transfers files between the mobiles the latest updates has made it must have application. It allows users to push notifications from mobile to Desktop without even touching your phone. Before I used this application it was a tedious task like I used to Email links and transfer files by connecting mobile to my PC. Even now many of them are not aware of this application.

3.Notification Mirroring
This feature allows notifications from your mobile phone display on the desktop as cards on the right side of the screen and even you can interact with them like, Favourite or retweet a tweet. You can dismiss the notifications from the desktop itself. It also allows you to get notifications only from apps you want and mute the other unnecessary apps. To enable this feature head over to settings and check the "Show my notifications on my PC" button. You need to have the PushBullet's Chrome extension installed. Simply disable this feature by unchecking it. Currently it is available only for Android, iOS support may come sooner.

The Conclusion
PushBullet is surely a must have app if you often transfer data between your devices. Having so many handy features this is still a free app and without including any in-app purchases. The Notification Mirroring makes it easy that you no longer have to check your for any updates. The only Drawback in my opinion is that once you add a friend he can send you anything. There's nothing like any approval system.
